Today Is Different
Some Sort Of Wake Up Call
Previous ChapterNext ChapterI laid unmoving, I didn't dare wake Discord. His paw slung over my back and curled slightly under my stomach. I giggled in my mind. Who knew he was a sleep hugger?
I had woke up at some point during the night. Discord was sound asleep when I woke up, and from the view of the window, the moon was still high in the sky.
My ears perked up as Discord grunted and slid his arm off my back. Then the tuft of white fur on the end of his tail started tickling my flank. I shuffled away from Discord's sleeping form and stood up. I slid my forelegs in front of me as the front of my body lowered in the form of a stretch. I yawned and curled up again beside Discord.
"You two, who's in here?" A faint voice on the other other side of the locked door asked. I got up and pressed my ear against the white door. The voice sounded extremely familiar, but so vague in my memories.
But I knew exactly who it was.
"We found two... people who wanted to go down the Royal chambers hallway." What sounded like a guard replied.
"We disabled one's magic and sent them here until further notice unless they wanted to leave the castle." What sounded like another guard asked.
"One's magic?" She asked.
"Yes, the other one was a pink earth pony who claimed she was an Element of Harmony." One of the guards replied. There was a pause.
"I'll talk to them in the morning." She finally answered.
"Yes your highness." A guard answered, followed by some clanking of armour, probably from saluting.
My cheek left the side of the door as there was silence again. I laid down beside Discord again and closed my eyes.
Cant be that late if they were talking. I thought before I drifted off to sleep.
~~~~~~~~~~
I surprised shiver shot up my spine as the door opened, making me jolt straight up.
Two grey unicorn guards stood in the centre of the doorway, holding spears. I looked over at Discord. He was still sound asleep. The stallions stepped aside to reveal Twilight Sparkle herself.
"Princess Twilight Sparkle." I said as I smirked and bowed.
"Pinkie Pie, you know you don't have to call me that." She said. My back legs made mind of it's own as they sprung out and wrapped my arms around Twilight's neck. The force knocked her backwards and onto her back. The guards pointed their spears at me, but hay, I didn't are at the moment.
"Put your weapons down...!" She said after giggling. They did as they told.
"You remember me!" I cried.
"Of course I remember you." Twi said as she stood up. "How could I forget the pony who taught me how to giggle at the ghosties?" She asked.
"You remember that too?" I asked.
"Probably because of the same reason you do." Twilight said. My smile faltered.
"How come you never came, then?" I asked quietly. "Did you not want to be friends with us anymore?"
"Of course not." She said. "It's just, things kept coming along that held me in Canterlot. I'll never not want to be friends with you, or any of you five." She glanced at Discord. "Or that long multi-coloured snake either." She joked. Her purple horn lit up, and so did Discord. The glowing stopped as he blinked his eyes open.
He snapped making a cup of chocolate milk appear in his claw. He grinned.
"Did I hear somepony call me a multi-coloured snake?" He asked.
"Nice to see you're awake!" I said. "Sleep hugger." I mumbled.
"What was that?" He asked. Twilight and I giggled.
"Never mind." Twi said. "What are you doing here, Pinkie?"
"To see you, of course!" I beamed. "I wasn't gonna sit around for more than two years and let our friendship fall apart!"
"Fall apart?" Twi asked.
"Oh, I don't know, Dashie is a Wonderbolt, Rares is a fashion star who travels all over Equestria. AJ's granny died, and Fluttershy's scared of the outdoors." I said flatly. "Our friendship hasn't been going well."
"That's terrible!" Twi said, covering her mouth with her front hoof.
"But don't worry, I'm working on it!" I said. "After this, I just need to convince Dashie to come home for a little bit so we can all catch up!"
"Y-you'd do that for us?" Twi asked.
"Oooof course I would!" I said. "I value our friendship more than anything!
"Hellooo," Discord said. "Still here."
"Discord, thank you so much for helping Pinkie find me." Twi said.
"Oh, PPFFF, it wasn't that special." He said, flicking his paw down as a light shade of pink coloured his cheeks.
"Of course it's special!" Twi said. "I don't know what Pinkie would've done if you weren't there, uh, no offence." I shrugged.
"Oh, I've missed you I suppose, Twilight." He said. "It's quite boring when your friends never visit."
"I've missed you too, Discord." Twi responded.
"Princess Twilight I've been loo-" A familiar deep voice said from the hallway.
Princess Celestia stopped herself as she walked into the room.
"Well hello there," she said, smiling at me. "It appears you have some old friends visiting, hm, Princess?" Celestia asked, turning her gaze to Twi.
"Yes, Pinkie and Discord came by for a visit, and wondering if they could borrow me at..?" She glanced at me.
"4:30 next Tuesday!" I said, answering her question.
"Yes, then." Twilight said. Celestia closed her eyes and nodded
"I'm sure Princess Luna and I can take care of things without falling too far behind while you visit your old Ponyville friends for a day." She replied.
Twi nodded in return.
"Thank you so much Princess!" She beamed.
"Now, who would like to join Luna and I for a Royal breakfast?" Celestia smiled.
"I'd love to." Twi answered.
"Can I come too?" Spike asked as he rounded the corner.
"Of course, Spike." Twi said.
"Hey Spike!" I turned to Celestia. "Me and Discord would love to come!" I beamed.
"I-I would?" Discord blurted. He chuckled. "Oh yes, I suppose so."
Author's Note
Well, I'm currently sitting beside a big jar of sugar wishing I could eat all of it, but that's not really the best idea.
